Tools required for jailbroken Device applications

Question

Hi,

I like to know about teh various tools required to develop for jailbroken application.

I have seen many links dealing with jailbroken devices says about the Open Toolchain . Does it really required for developing applications for jailbroken devices. Can anyone clearly elaborates regarding the open toolchain and other development tools required.

Do we need to sign the applications developed for jailbroken devices. Cant we use the normal provision profile downloaded from apple developer site for signing the application to run in the jailbroken devices.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes, Mohammed Sadiq.

Answer 1

I know a lot of jailbroken app devs use the official SDK, and why wouldn't you?

Answer 2

The applications should be the same. It's the distribution method that differs. The last two FAQs here should help you.
